15A round pin (Type M) plug to UK 13A adaptor

This travel adaptor will enable a 15A/16A round pin plug (type M) to be connected to a UK 13A socket. The 13A socket is the only type used within the UK to power appliances. 

The 15A/16A plug is most commonly used in the UK for stage lighting, and in South Africa. As there are 3 types of round pin plug, it is important to check your plug before ordering. The rating should be detailed on the plug itself. If you are unsure, measure the distance between the pins. This adaptor is only compatible with the 15A/16A plug (right). For the smaller 5A/6A used in the UK for table lamps and also most commonly in India, click here.

Why buy your travel adaptors from us?

We began to sell travel adaptors after becoming concerned at how many sub-standard unsafe adaptors were being sold on the internet. A vast number of those on-line present with some or all of the following safety issues:

• Unsheathed pins, increasing the risk of electrocution, particularly for children whose small fingers may be able to touch the live pin when the plug is only partially inserted.
• Non-shuttered sockets, enabling a child to insert a metal object into the live receptacle and receive an electric shock.
• Cannot safely manage the maximum current (power draw) that may occur from the rating of the socket they are recommended to be used with. This means that high power appliances may result in the adaptor over-heating,
• Often do not connect the vital earth pin. Some appliances require an earth connection so that if a fault occurs and an external metal part becomes live, the earth wire safely conducts the electricity away, tripping the circuit breaker or blowing the fuse. If the earth is not connected, the metal will remain live, electrocuting anyone who touches it. 

All of our travel adaptors have been carefully selected following exhaustive tests, to ensure that they are entirely safe for use in the UK. They are not the cheapest on-line, but we guarantee that they are the safest.
